Answer:
What is a polynomial?
- In mathematics, a polynomial is an expression consisting of indeterminates and coefficients, that involves only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponentiation of variables
What is a rational function?
- In mathematics, a rational function is any function that can be defined by a rational fraction, which is an algebraic fraction such that both the numerator and the denominator are polynomials.
Are all polynomials rational functions?
.A function that cannot be written in the form of a polynomial, so no they are not all functions.
Slope of AD = (2k - 0)/(2j -b - 0) = 2k/(2j - b)
slope of BC = (2k - 0)/(2j - b) = 2k / (2j - b)
AD ║ BC (same slope)
Slope of AB = 0
Slope of DC = 0
AB║DC
First, solve the inequality:

Since x is <u>greater than</u> -8, you have the arrow point up the graph towards the positive side starting at -8.
Since it's greater than but not equal to -8, the circle is open.
Thus your graph is
D.
<u>Let's solve this problem step-by-step</u>
<u>Let's set</u>:
2x + 6y = 36 -- equation 1
x + 4y = 20 -- equation 2
(equation 2) * 2
2x + 8y = 40 -- equation 3
(equation 3) - (equation 1)
2y = 4
y = 2 -- equation 4
Plug (equation 4)'s value of y into (equation 2)
x + 4(2) = 20
x = 20 - 8
x = 12
<u>Thus x = 12 and y = 2</u>
<u>Let's check, by substituting these values</u>

<u>Answer: x = 12 and y = 2</u>
Hope that helps!
